Spies Like Us – REMINDER – DUE DATE EXTENDED!

FELLOW ANIPALS – Now is the time to send your humans out of the room – this post is just for us – anipals UNITE!

 Forrest and I have been talking this morning.  We are going to extend our deadline for Spies Like Us to Saturday, AUGUST 9, 2014.

Entries can be sent to my email at baconthompson@gmail.com

.

We really need your help my fellow anipals.  Our humans do this to us all of the time.  They take pictures of us in compromising pictures and send them all over the world for everyone to see. You know they do it!  Heck, we all know they do it.  You’ve seen my Dear Bacon issues on Tuesdays.  *Now* is the time to get those humans of ours back.  SPIES LIKE US are made for well US.

Take that picture or video of your human doing something so crazy and send it to me by Saturday, AUGUST 9, 2014.  Me and Forrest need YOU for this my anipals.  Put on those cameras… tip toe through the house as stealth and quiet as you can… send those submissions in to me.  

Me and Forrest will post later on in the month of August for the voting to begin.  WE CAN DO THIS!

– EXAMPLE OF HUMAN CRAZINESS –

I took this picture off of mom’s iPhone when she left it on the sofa.  This is a perfect example of human craziness.  OMP (oh my pig!)

I don’t know what daddy was doing in this picture but it shows him perfectly – he is C.R.A.Z.Y.  He might have been showing his inner tiger or is that inner kitty – snorts.

Whatever it was, it is forever captured in a photograph now.  Tell me he was growling… please.  Shakes piggy head.  He sure is crazy.  See what I live with here at the Hotel Thompson.  Walks away muttering crazy daddy of mine!

 

Bacon’s Show and Tell

Is it time for Bacon’s Show and Tell now?  I thought it would never get here this month.  This month we are highlighting the one toy that you really wanted as a child but never got while growing up. This should be really interesting today to see – here we go with mom’s.

When mom was little, she wanted an Easy Bake Oven.  I bet there was more than one person who wanted this that didn’t get it.  Can you believe that over the years, there have actually been 11 Easy Bake oven models?

In 1963 (way before mommy was hatched – snorts), the first one came out.  It was turquoise and cost $15.95.

In 1965 (still before mommy’s time – snorts), Hasbro introduced Easy Pop Corn Popper, Birthday Cake, Party set and Kid dinners for the Easy Bake Oven.  I guess that was one inventive way to get kids to eat their veggies.

In 1968 (mom still not born yet), General Mills came out with boxed versions for the Easy Bake oven.

Finally when mom was born in 1969 – see all of this wonderful stuff led to mom’s birth – Hasbro came out with the Easy Bake oven in green with more dials and even a hood.

Then in 1970, the green was replaced with gold and it cooked cakes twice as big.

In 1978, the Easy Bake Oven went stream lined and came out looking like a brown and white microwave.

Over the years, more improvements were made and more colors and sizes.  Nowadays, the price of the average Easy Bake Oven goes between $29.99-$39.99, depending on what kind you get.  So not much of a price difference really in 51 years.  So many kids have loved these and played with them over the years.

Mom looks back and says she wanted one then but now she has a ‘real’ oven.  She didn’t miss out on anything growing up in not having one… well maybe more calories on her butt but then again that’s a good thing she didn’t have one – snorts.
